I've not posted in forever because I've been in the hospital on and off for over 6 months, I broke some vertebrae. But I'm the 'oldie' fan that started watching in the 80s when Snake and Joey were still children. I like the show still, sort of I may quit it though if Marco is really gone, I have no clue who half the people on now even are.

I don't particularly like Ashley Tisdale so I didn't want to watch "Picture This!" on the ABC-Family channel, but about a minute into it- hey! there's Paige and Darcy!! :-D I'm suprised I haven't been told this sooner, they actually make the movie bearable as like the tag-team best-friends duo :-) how fun those two were chosen together!... but Paige has some really black low-lights in her hair...

anyone else have any thoughts of have spotted Degrassi castmember anywhere??

oh! Emma (Miriam McDonald) is in a Lifetime Movie called "Poison Ivy: The Secret Society" apparently on the Lifetime Movie Network at 8pm tonight!... I wish I knew when it'll be on the regular Lifetime channel :-p

"If you want to live in the zip, you must live by the code," declares a promotional campaign for the much-anticipated 90210.

Shenae Grimes shouldn't have a problem living up to that motto. After landing the coveted lead role of Annie Mills, based on Brenda Walsh (the character made famous in the original Beverly Hills, 90210 by Shannon Doherty), the Toronto-born actress is moving from her 416 area code to the hip zip code.

The Gemini-winning actress won the role on the show (which will air on Global TV this fall) after the producers' first choice, Hilary Duff, turned down the role. "It's a dream come true," Shenae tells Hello! Canada. "I'm going to miss Toronto," she adds. "But I haven't decided if I'm going to be living in L.A. full-time."

Shenae, who has been interning at Fashion Television and whose hobbies include singing and dancing, will leave her role as Darcy Edwards on Degrassi: The Next Generation at the end of season eight, which she's currently filming (she joined the series in season five).

"It's time to move on," says the 18-year-old natural beauty. "I had an amazing time on the show and made life-long friends. I won't forget anyone from the Degrassi universe, but the show has a lot of new kids, and it's their time to shine now." Degrassi producer Linda Schuyler says they'll be sad to see her go, but "we wish her all the best."

So how would Shenae like to see her character, Darcy, written out of the CTV series? "I'm going to leave that to our talented writers," she responds. "The character has survived so much just this past year, so hopefully she'll have a happy ending." Indded. In this past season alone, Darcy has been the victim of rape, experienced severe depression - and survived. Shenae is in survivor mode, too, these days. "I'm over the moon about landing 90210, but reality is setting in. At first I was jumping up and down, but now it's like, 'Oh, I have to do,'" she says with a laugh.

While the bright lights of Hollywood are luring Shenae to the land of opportunity, she admits she's both nervous and excited. Is her family concerned about the trappings of both fame and fortune that have led many a young star down the wrong path? "My father is a little worried about me living in crazy Hollywood," she concedes. "But I have a good head on my shoulders."

As for a preview of what the expect on the new-and-improved 90210, Shenae is keeping mum, but she does know that the primetime soap will be "cooler, sexier, and more provocative" than even the hit 1990s drama was. "We're gonna take this show to a whole new level."

So why did CTV decide not to air 703 Love is a Battlefieldare they just gonna pretend that the episode never happened?So then where does that leave Alex and Paige for Canada?Are they going to remake the whole episode or something? :PSeems unlikely, but I think they know that people were dissapointed.but yea, what's their reason for not airing it?

I recorded it onto my HD camera, so the quality's not the best, but it's better than nothing. I only managed to get the first five minutes of it, and missed the very beginning where Cassie answered some questions. I also got a Degrassi Love in 30 Seconds commercial which I will upload.

For all you Lauren Collins fans out there, I’ve got some titillating news! The article for Curve has published and it’s out in stores! If you do not have a subscription to Curve Magazine, have no fear. You can pick up this month’s copy at any Barnes & Noble bookstore. Flip it open to the table of contents and you’ll see my name, in bold, and the page, 38 to be exact, to turn to.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that Lauren was give a center spread. As I said before, she was incredibly candid during the interview and I enjoyed it very much. I’m glad that I was able to help spread the word about her, not only as an actress, but also as a person.

Check out the article when you get a moment and let me know what you think.

Here’s a little teaser to spark your interest:

Degrassi: The Next Generation is the most watched domestic drama series in Canada, and the highest rated show on Nickelodeon’s “The N” in the United States. Degrassi, often described as a “cult classic,” garners rave reviews from critics for its lack of inhibition when it comes to exploring such “taboo” topics as abortion, rape, alcoholism, domestic violence and yes, even homosexuality, among teens. And really, what would a hit teenage television series be without a little lesbian drama?

Lauren Collins, who plays the quick-witted, somewhat superficial and sexually flexible Paige Michalchuck, talks with Curve about Degrassi’s appeal, her first lesbian kiss and the possibility of playing future gay roles
